Bf~"Y newly cut Christmas
trees. Yuletide cheer
was effervescing, but
there was no responsive j
cbo of its fervor in the hearts of
John Lane and Martin Freer.
"Fm in accord with you completely,** j
the latter was saying. "My son, Sid- \
ney, has the chance of his life to enter j
a law career in the city. Since he 1
fall in love with your half niece and
ward, Edna, he seems to have lost all !
ambition of making his way outside of
winning her.**
"A foolish fancy,** declared John
Lane. "Edna is too young to think of
marrying."
"We ave *ping to send Edna away |
to a privato boarding school after the j
holidays,*' he continued, "and that will
probably end the affair."
Meantime Edna Merrill pined in her
. prisonlike solitude and Sidney sought i
to devise a way to get word to her.
At their last meeting he had said,
"no matter what comes, they shall not
part us."
"They are going to send both of !
88 away, widely apart," mourned Edna.
"Oh, don't let g mrg
them do it!" and wWaiQ MT 1

answered Edna I 1 ?J
stanchly.
"Then yon shall hear from me when
I have matured all my plans," promised
Sidney.
There was a certain solace for Sidney
in climbing the high garden wall at
the rear of the Lane grounds and gazing
up at the window of the room that |
held his heart's treasure. He had a !
note written detailing his plans and j
hopes, and he had almost d^paired i

; of delivering It, when, the afternoon
j before Christmas, he observed that
the window was open.
Sidney added a few lines to the
note, gathered np a handful of snow,
enclosed the note in the white sphere,
aimed, let fly and it passed through
| the open window.
j The note had suggested the elopment
he and Edna had previously disi
cussed. He had added a line. "I will
be in the lane at eight o'clock. Don't
fail me."
i There was a light in that upper window,
now closed, when Sidney returned,
and the lamp was set in a peculiar
way. Across the frosted inside
of a pane two words had been scratchor?
riiflrtino" "At Hifht."
A few minutes later the light was
| extinguished and a speeding figure
crossed the garden, unlocked a rear
| door in the wall and the lovers were
united.
"Quick," spoke Sidney. "It is a question
of getting to a friend of mine, a
clergyman at Amherst."
He clasped Edna's arm and they
hurried down the lane.
The lane the fugitives were now In
was deep with snow. As they neared
a large barn withm

entered the great

a_ a scene strange
aDd striking.
- In its center was
what
an old circus chariot There was gilt
and holly and evergreen trimming In
profusion. Four horses were attached
and upon a sort of throne In the
center was seated a gorgeously attired
Santa Claus.
"We'll better start," spoke one of
the men, "if we want to get to Amherst
before everybody is abed," and
catching sight of a sign on the chariot
Sidney was made aware of the fact
that to advertise a new soap this
modern publicity van was touring the
district, giving away samples as holiday
presents.
"Step into that low space at the
back," he whispered to Edna. "We
shall be safe there."
When the unique Santa Claus vehicle
arrived at the edge of Amherst
the fluttering lovers left it unnoticed.
There was a hurried walk to the home
of a clergyman.
The same telegram was sent by the
happy bride and bridegroom to John
Lane and Martin Freer. It read:
"Mr. snd Mrs. Sidney Freer wish
their loving friends a Merry, Merry
Christmas."

; Mud Geysers in California
Cover More Than Two Acres
I On the eastern shore of Salton sea,
Oonfrtpnio a fipid of mud geysers re

came Into existence. The field
spreads over a little more than two
acres. The geysers are various-sized
I caldrons of hot mud. Until 15 years
ago this sea was a dry, salt-incrusted
| area with a maximum elevation of 265
i feet below sea level. In the year 1904
| the Colorado river ran over its banks,
i and the water entered into the basin,
i making a lake of 400 square miles.
I This inflow was stopped in 1906, and
since then the Salton sea has been

Cardinal Newman Makes
Clear What Gentleman Is
A gentleman is full of consideration
for others, a foe to violence of opinion
or expression; an enemy at the
same time of restraint, suspicion,
gloom or resentment. He Is merciful,

allusions or topics; never makes

never mean or little, never takes unfair
advantage; and never mistakes
I personalities or abuse for argument?
